How to disable bracket autocomplete in Spyder?
How do you turn off the bracket autocomplete feature in Spyder? I'm using Spyder 4.0.1 on OS X Mojave.
Consider the following Python dictionary:
data_desired = {'Year': [],
'Number of tropical storms': [],
'Number of hurricanes': [],
'Number of Major Hurricanes': [],
'Deaths': [],
'Damage': []}
Writing this out in Spyder, I often get:
data_desired = {'Year': []],
and need to go back and fix the extra bracket.
Regardless of whether the autocomplete feature works well or not, auto-bracketing does not help me because I have to right arrow past the newly generated bracket anyway, which slows down typing.
Use Tools >> Preferences >> Editor >> Advanced Settings >> Untick "Automatic insertion of parentheses, braces and brackets"
Then Apply >> OK.
Update: Spyder 5.x
This option was moved to Tools >> Preferences >> Editor >> Source Code >> Untick "Automatic insertion of parentheses, braces and brackets"
Then Apply >> OK.
